Samsung Electronics announced the availability of the 9100 PRO model in Malaysia with 4 variants. The 9100 PRO is the company’s first consumer SSD that supports PCIe 5.0, promising blazing sequential read and write speeds for laptops, gaming desktops and game consoles. Do take note that the 9100 PRO is also backwards compatible towards PCIe 4.0 x4 and 3.0 x4 motherboards.
JUST HOW FAST?
- Up to 14,800 MB/s Read
- Up to 13,400 MB/s Write
With PCIe ® 5.0 support, the 9100 PRO is almost twice as fast as the previous generation, delivering
sequential read and write speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and 13,400 MB/s respectively (990 PRO
PCIe ® 4.0 4TB’s sequential read speed is 7,450MB/s). The SSD’s random read and write speeds also
get boosts with up to 2,200K IOPS and 2,600K IOPS, respectively.
Power efficiency for the 9100 PRO is 49% better than the previous generation due to the SSD’s
enhanced heat management solution. This makes the 9100 PRO 2TB’s sequential read and write
power efficiency is 1,822 and 1,703 MBs/s per Watt, respectively, while 990 PRO 4TB’s sequential
read and write is 1,221 and 1,255 MBs/s per Watt, respectively.
Heatsinks On Models
The 1TB, 2TB and 4TB models of the 9100 PRO also come with an 8.8mmT Heatsink that complies
with the PCISIG® D8 standard specification, enabling easier thermal control and preventing
overheating.
Separately, the 9100 PRO’s 8TB model features a thicker 11.25mmT heatsink and is Samsung’s first
NVMe SSD to offer expanded capacity, providing support for various gaming experiences as well as
next-generation game development and content creation.
